PETERSBURG DOWNTOWN NEWSLETTER Did You Know TOYS FOR TOTS Saturday, December 2nd is the annual Postal Toy Drive. Leave a new, unwrapped toy by your mailbox and your postal worker will deliver it to the Marine Corps to be part of the annual Toys-For-Tots drive. RECYCLE TIPS Home recycling is sorted by machines at a recycling facility. Small bottle tops and shredded paper slip through the machines or cause improper sorting. Plastic bottle caps should be left on the bottle or removed and placed in the trash! Always read the recycling information on your container to “Recycling Right.” INTERSTATE 375 RENAMED Members of the City and the Department of Transportation recently unveiled the new name for the north ramp of I-375, leading into and out of downtown St. Petersburg. It is now the C. Bette Wimbish Highway. Ms Wimbish was the first female and the first African-American elected to the St. Petersburg City Council in 1969. “Honoring the trail blazing legacy of Bette Wimbish is important in telling the rich “her- story” of blacks in St. Petersburg,” said State Senator Darryl Rouson at the event. “My hope is it inspires others as she inspired me.” Ms Wimbish, who died in 2009, was a lawyer, politician, and an activist in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County. She was also the first black female attorney in the entire state. She was elected to the St. Petersburg City Council and eventually became Vice-Mayor. NEW DORMS USF/SP has a problem—not enough places for its students to live. Though it has a reputation as a commuter school, that is changing. They are building a 10-story, 550-bed student housing building at Fifth Avenue South and Third Street. The new dorm will double their existing campus housing. Recently, the school has had to convert single rooms into doubles, and doubles into triples. They have even been putting students in the nearby Hilton. The new dorm marks a critical expansion for USF/SP. “It will double the population of our residents, which is huge,” says a school spokesman.

Since 1980, the National Main Street Center has been working with communities across the nation to revitalize their historic or traditional commercial areas. The Main Street program is designed to improve all aspects of the downtown. The Main Street approach has rekindled entrepreneurship, downtown cooperation and civic concern. It has earned national recognition as a practical means of utilizing and improving a community’s local resources and conditions. Because it is a locally driven program, all of what is done stems from local issues and concerns. The City of Clearwater was designated a Florida Main Street Community in August 1998. The program utilizes the Main Street four-point approach using the Joint Venture as its organizational branch. The Joint Venture is made up of a City Council (formerly Commission) appointed member, the Executive Director of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), the Downtown Development Board (DDB) Chairperson, co-chairpersons from the Design, Economic Development and Promotion committees and the Main Street Program Coordinator.
